Ning Xiao, who felt more and more disobedient, began to try to recall his memory, but to no avail, once he wanted to recall, Ning Xiao felt like a needle prick in his head, and the pain was incomparable.Seeing Ning Xiao in such pain, Er Ya also kept persuading Ning Xiao not to reminisce, even if he couldn't remember the past, it was nothing, anyway, there was still their family now, right?
Even if you want to reminisce, you have to take your time and not rush.In desperation, Ning Xiao had to temporarily give up her plan to recall the past and live in Lijia Village with peace of mind.And this stay is half a month.During this period, Ning Xiao helped Zhao Tiezhu finish harvesting the rice field, and then processed all the rice, handed over the rice, and left more than 20 sacks of grain bran, which was the family's ration for the next year.Every household is almost the same, and even some families have a bad harvest, and the chaff is not enough to eat until next year......
And in the past half a month, Ning Xiao also knows the rules here.For crops such as rice, the good part must be handed over, and only the bran and bran are left, which is the food left by the people.And if you hunt and fish, the beast you catch, after slaughtering, only the lungs, stomach and intestines are dirty and go into the water, which is your own, and all other good meat must be handed over to the chief of the body, and the fish, except for the internal organs, you can take it yourself, the fish meat must be handed over, or the chief can't look down on it, and you can take it if it is given to you!
In a word, everything here, all the good things, is guaranteed!
And the most shocking thing is that this is not enforced by anyone, but everyone acts spontaneously, without being supervised, and automatically and consciously does this!
If Ning Xiao's memory was still there, he would easily be able to find out that this was a sick society, and the exploited people had become completely accustomed to exploitation, and even took the initiative to be exploited, and the exploited people did not feel that there was anything that should not be, as if they were born to be so......
That's why it's a fertile land, but the people are on the verge of starvation......
However, in the past half a month, Ning Xiao has become familiar with the village and has also gained a good reputation, for no other reason than because of his great strength!
Who needs to carry something, say hello, he will go over immediately, the stone mill that several men can't move, Ning Xiao can help it up with one hand.Even with him, Zhao Tiezhu also became famous in the village, and he was happy that he kept saying that he had saved the right person.On this day, Ning Xiao was helping Zhao Tiezhu sharpen his hoe, and Aunt Zhao walked in happily, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and her face was about to bloom."
Daddy, good news, Li Cripple is settled!
You see, it's all given!
A bucket full of buds!
”Aunt Zhao shook the bag in her hand and opened the mouth of the bag, and inside was a small half bag of golden bud particles."
Cripple Lee?
What did he set?
”Ning Xiao asked a little strangely.He knew that he was one of only two craftsmen in the village, and although he was also called a pariah by the chief of the guard, he was a little more advanced than the farmers, who did not have to go to the field, and relied on the craft of weaving bamboo products to exchange food with the chief and the villagers to make a living.Because they can exchange with the chief of the family, these craftsmen have a lot of surplus food at home, and they also eat better, and sometimes they can even eat white rice, beans and bud rice are even more common!
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is simply rich and expensive!
Cripple Li gave Aunt Zhao a bucket of bud rice, what is this going to be exchanged?
Is there anything else in their family that a rich man like Cripple Li can look up to?"
Really, Li Cripple is decided?"
Zhao Tiezhu didn't ignore Ning Xiao's question, threw the hoe in his hand, raised his hand to wipe the water stains on his body, looked at the bud rice excitedly, and said again and again, "Great, great!"
With this bucket of bud rice as seeds, we can plant them next year!
When the time comes, half of the buds we harvest will be our own!
Leave a bucket to make seeds, and the rest can be eaten for a long time!
”Half a cent, which is 0.5 percent, but this is also better than rice and wheat, and you can see a little bit, and in the case of rice and wheat, there is nothing left but bran bran ......
Seeing the happy couple, Ning Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, what has the cripple Li decided?"
What's going on?
”Zhao Tiezhu laughed: "Li Cripple has taken a fancy to your second sister, this bud rice is the bride price he set for the second girl, and he will send the second girl over to marry in a few days!"
”Hearing this, Ning Xiao's eyes widened suddenly: "Uncle Zhao, auntie, you're not confused, right?"
Er Ya is only fourteen!
That cripple Li is more than a dozen years older than you!
It's almost time to be a grandfather for Erya!
You let Erya marry him?
”"Cripple Li is a craftsman, much better than us!
Marrying a cripple Li, as long as you give him a boy and a girl, the second girl will live a much better life than us!
”Aunt Zhao said."
Being able to be favored by craftsmen is a blessing for Erya!
Otherwise, if you marry a farmer like me, you will still suffer for the rest of your life, and you will even be out of the flesh if you don't get it right!
”Zhao Tiezhu sighed.Ning Xiao has heard the word meat several times, but she has never understood what it means, but it is definitely not a good thing to think about, and if you don't get it, you will force your wife to do a leather and meat business!"
But Li Cripple is too old, Erya will suffer in the past......"
Ning Xiao was still a little reluctant.Living here for half a month, Erya, a somewhat naughty girl, brought a lot of joy and care to Ning Xiao, and he really regarded Erya as a sister."
No matter how hard you suffer, it's better than following people like us!"
Zhao Tiezhu shook his head, and then got up, "I'll go and tell Erya, damn, you can also start preparing, get a wedding dress for Erya." ”The couple walked away, and Ning Xiao sat there alone grinding his hoe, silent.Marrying a craftsman seems to be a good way out, but thinking about Li Li's limping appearance and his thin and fierce face, Ning Xiao just feels worried about Erya......
And at this moment, there was a loud crying sound from the side of the second room, and then Zhao Tiezhu's angry words, and a crisp snap.With this crisp sound, the crying stopped abruptly......
Ning Xiao lowered his head and sharpened his knife, silently, he no longer knew whether he thought it was wrong, or whether this world was wrong.In the blink of an eye, the time was on the third day, that is, the day of Erya's marriage.Ning Xiao sat silently in Erya's room, watching Aunt Zhao dress up Erya, who was crying and red-eyed.Er Ya looked at Ning Xiao pitifully, and said in a low voice: "Brother Er Niu, I don't want to marry Li Cripple, he is too scary......"

"Silly girl, it's time to go, are you still thinking about not marrying?"
Listen to my mother, marry Li Cripple, and you will have a good life in the future!
”Aunt Zhao persuaded her daughter while winding her hair."
But......
But I feel ......"
Erya looked at Ning Xiao, a little slurred, and his eyes were red.Ning Xiao stood up, barely showed a smile, and said: "Erya, don't worry, if Li Cripple treats you badly, you come back and tell Brother Erniu, I will call the shots for you!"
”Hearing this, Erya's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she showed a smile and hummed heavily."
You call her the shots, what do you decide."
Aunt Zhao smiled bitterly, "Cripple Li is a craftsman, much more powerful than us!"
Erya, as long as you listen to him and obey him, life will be better, you know?
”When Erya heard her mother's words, her face suddenly turned ugly, and she sat on the bed, wringing her hands, her eyes full of worries about the future.Ning Xiao sighed in her heart, her only hope now is to hope that that Li Cripple is not so fierce as he looks, and can be kind to Erya.When Aunt Zhao took care of Erya's hair, Uncle Zhao shouted outside: "Child, Erya, Erniu, come out, welcome your relatives!"
”When Er Ya heard this, her whole body suddenly tensed, and her nervousness was beyond words.And Aunt Zhao took her daughter's hand and stood up happily, asked Ning Xiao to open the door, and then the three of them walked out.There were only six people in the welcoming team, led by Li Cripple with a big red flower, this guy was riding a small donkey, and was looking at this small courtyard with triangular eyes, with a look of disgust.Behind him were five people who played and sang, and they didn't play well, they were croaking, not so much playing as making noise.Uncle Zhao stood in front of the courtyard gate, bending over and smiling, but the lame Li ignored it, until he saw Aunt Zhao and Ning Xiao walking out with Erya, and his eyes lit up."
Hehe, this little girl dresses up, and she is really smarter."
Li lame licked his lips, then picked up the horsewhip, drove Uncle Zhao aside a little roughly, and rode directly into the yard on a donkey.Seeing Li Cripple's wrinkled face and the appearance of wanting to eat people, Ning Xiao couldn't help but stand in front of Erya and face Li Cripple.Seeing Ning Xiao blocking the way, Li lame sneered: "Get out of the way, Lao Tzu's deposit has been paid, this girl is my thing!"
How old are you kid, when I'm on the road?
I don't care about you!
”Hearing Li Cripple's words, Ning Xiao was silent for a while, and then Aunt Zhao behind him dragged him, Ning Xiao sighed, and could only dodge away.Then the cripple laughed, stretched out his rough big hand like a chicken's paw, grabbed Erya's collar, and dragged her onto the donkey in her frightened cry, while stretching his big hand into the collar of Erya, he rode the donkey away!
Erya's cry is also gradually moving away.Ning Xiao's heart felt extremely unpleasant, looking at Uncle Zhao and his wife, he asked a little bitterly: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, is this decision really right?"
”That cripple Li knew at a glance that it was not a good thing, is it really good for Erya to marry such a person?"
It can't be wrong, it's better to marry a cripple than to marry a farmer!
Erya will not suffer!
”Uncle Zhao said categorically, but he didn't know if he was talking about Ning Xiao or himself.Aunt Zhao smiled bitterly, even if it's not good, it's too late, the daughter who marries out is the person of her husband's family, no matter what the other party does, her mother's family can't ask anymore......
The three of them were in a complicated mood, and returned to the house silently, and did not speak again until they rested after dinner.()
